Is there any scene more inherently wintery and festive than rolling hills, towering hillsides and sweeping vistas, blanketed in snow? Across the UK we’re now beginning to see the first proper snows of the season, but if you’re not in an area prone to the white stuff, there’s a solution.
There’s literally nothing more Christmassy than snow, but we don’t always get much of it. That’s why you should be heading off on a rural getaway somewhere into the snowy hills and wintery countryside that we have plenty of here in the UK.
If you’re in Need of Some Relaxation…
Snow is peaceful, tranquil and absolutely gorgeous, and makes a spectacularly relaxing backdrop to the perfect spa retreat. So if the chilly greyness of back home is starting to drive you up the wall, maybe a trip somewhere snowy to see the fairer side of winter is in order? Seasonal Affective Disorder hits many of us every year, with the short days and darker weather causing patches of anxiety, stress and sadness.
What better than somewhere gorgeous, rural and utterly Christmassy if you’re feeling down, stressed and worn out? There are loads of great rural locations and spa options here in the UK too, so you can guarantee you’ll be able to find the right location for your trip.
Want to Work on Your Skin?
Maybe you’re worried about your skin in the face of all this harsh weather? No pun intended! It’s true, strong winds and icy snow can have a detrimental, drying effect on your face, but the cold can also be very good for your skin. Reducing puffiness, combating acne and generally giving your skin a bit of a break from harsh sunlight, the winter can actually be pretty great for your face.
The best way to capitulate on this, and make sure you’re looking your absolute best, is always going to be a spa break. Expect wonderful treatments, from vitamin creams, facemasks and massages, all catered towards making sure your skin is looking as perfect as it possibly can.

Heading off to a rural, snowy and beautiful Christmastime retreat is the perfect way to soothe your soul, relax, recharge and become the Christmas spirit that you want to be. We know Christmas is expensive too, but don’t worry, spa breaks don’t have to break the bank, there are tons of ways to do it cheaper.
